I completely agree: CC's book as a guide rather than a rule.
My MSB slopers already include the wearing ease though not much, not like "I just had a heavy dinner" much. I am so familiar with the way the MSB slopers fit me that, when I draft a pattern adding the design ease and details, I also know just how much room will be allowed. Perhaps it's just two different approaches to flat pattern drafting?
